Still rarer are the ones with extensive hyalinization, calcification and osseous metaplasia.2 We herein report a rare case of granulosa cell tumor-like variant of endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary with extensive areas of hyalinization, calcification and osseous metaplasia in a 45-year-old female patient.
